Opposition Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe has pledged to set up an effective resettlement program in the North by removing all unnecessary high security zones while keeping only the essential ones in strategic areas. He said his party has also finalized a plan to develop the Palali Airport into an international airport.
Mr. Wickremesinghe made this pledge kicking off the UNP’s election campaign in Jaffna today. (YP)

If necessary, these should be expanded, he should protect the common masses and not the wrong doers. This will not buy you any votes.

This is not a solution dear friend. How long can you keep them like this? Give a solution that changes the mentality of the people in those areas. do not think of keeping people in open prisons.

I wouldn't doubt his commitment. This is the same man who agreed for the cease fire agreement at a very high cost to our motherland. I am so glad that Rajapakse's were able to reverse it.

You know who we have here. We have well experienced ballot riggers to keep Ranil as opposition leader forever.

Why can't Ranil keep his trap shut till after the elections? The UNP is losing votes because of his wrong speeches.

If a genuine Sinhala leader gives a solution to the Tamils, then, we can all live peacefully.

There are thousands of acres under the HSZ and no cutivation is taking place - a burden for both the people and country.

We need a police station on every street and an army camp in every district, to keep our people in check.

I think you've got to plan how to prevent your newly elected MPs, from running behind MR for perks ...

Well deserved solution, for a long-suffering community. Should come-out with some more ideas that will draw the Tamil youth to our side and defeat the seperatist mentality.
